The Otherside Delicatessen

I was told these folks have the best steak and cheese around. Well I can't speak to that exactly, I can tell you that it's definitely worth going it your way for.

The place is kind of barren and it doesn't look like they have much but just order a sandwich...

Also, the breakfast sandwich menu looks fantastic.

So delicious!! My friend and I were looking for a quick bite and ended up finding an incredibly delicious delicatessen. We’re looking forward to coming back!

Wow..A++ First visit. The steak mushroom grinder had marinated shitakes, bread toasted to perfection. Fried chicken sandwich delicious. All cooked to order. Call ahead to avoid waiting. Can't wait to try the charcuterie pates.

I read a few reviews before coming here and a funny one always stuck with me where a reviewer said they immediately fell in love with their sandwich maker because of how delicious it was. And here I am, completely head over heels with the handsome bearded fellow who formed this delicious monstrosity of a sandwich. It is obvious how much pride they take in their food and have sought to go the extra step with every ingredient to make these among the best sandwiches you've ever had. Everything here is great but the sandwich specials are often my go-to. The small assortment of premade food and prepared meats is also great, I usually end up leaving with much more than I planned on.

This place rocks. Lots of great options, plenty of variety, great staff and some of the best breakfast sandwiches we've ever had. Highly recommend!

I am from the Deli capital of America, NJ/NY. I have lived in New England for about ten years, and the other side is the best Deli I have had. Nothing has come close. So happy I finally found a good Deli. Absolutely unreal food and quality for an amazing price.

Stopped in for to go breakfast. Very quick and easy to order. The eggs were delicious, seasoned perfectly, thick bacon, hash brown nest a pleasant surprise and fabulous english muffin.

This place nails it every time. EVERY TIME!!! Top quality ingredients, people who know how to cook it and the right amount of neighborhood feel to make you keep coming back. Sandwiches are a must but don't miss out on the deli meats and other cuts ready to go. Top 3 sandwich in Portland hands down.

I used to live near the shop on Vaughn Street in the West End and loved to grab a sammy there and take it to the Prom on a warm day. I was so happy when I realized the original shop is on Veranda near my new apartment. They make REAL Italians and all of the other food I've tried from this business has always been top quality. Never disappointed and the prices are totally legit for the quality and service I always receive. Excited to go back to the Veranda shop many more times. The diner is great, too! Happy to give these folks my business, especially in these times. Bring cash to tip if you pay with a card!

My boyfriend and I ate here for the first time last week, at the West End location. We both ordered the shaved steak grinder, and LOVED every bite. Best shaved steak sandwich in Portland, in my opinion. Order it with the peppers, onions, vinegar. We will be back very soon!

If I'm looking for a sandwich or grinder Otherside is literally the only place I go anymore, but they also have a great selection of local meats (fresh, aged, smoked, and cured) and a few prepared meals to take home as well. Considering the quality of ingredients and preparation, I find the prices very reasonable and the service extremely friendly and helpful. An absolute gem tucked in a mostly residential area.

Stopped by on the way out of town. Great hidden gem. Staff was great and sandwich was incredible.

Delicious neighborhood deli, big on freshness and flavor, with strong connections to local farms and purveyors! Happened upon this delightful deli ... the veal meatball with sauce, mozzarella and a flavorful pepper relish was out of this world! Also selling meats and sausages! Don't miss this gem!

Great little spot for sandwiches, which also happens to carry great sundries and meats. The banh mi is a favorite, which has fresh, flavorful pate and almost fruity jalapenos. Don't get me started on the meat, both in the sandwiches and taken home to enjoy as a different meal. Also check out the wine and beer selection.

First time I ever had a hot Italian before and my new favorite way to have that sandwich. Pete makes some of the best food in Portland. Try one of his grinders and your WILL NOT be disappointed.

When someone puts time and effort into their products it shows. These guys are no exception. Their meats are well smoked/cured and the bread is always fresh. Pork Belly Bahn Mi and the Mushroom Grinder are favorites.

Excellent bacon egg and cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly. I got hot sauce on mine and it was just right. New Jersey approves 10/10.

Best sandwich in Portland! House-cured meats, attention to sandwich detail--pickled onions, and a great selection makes this take-out only shop my new favorite. Amazing smoked chicken salad!

New to the area and tried the Italian from the location on Veranda. Amazing ! Never expected it to be a warm sandwich and wouldn’t change a thing. From the bread, to the meat and toppings, delicious. Will be back for sure !

Some of the best deli sandwiches in Portland. In house cured meats available by the pound. Pizza and grinders as well. Breakfast sandwiches and coffee in the morning. A very solid wine selection. Take out only.
